    The Non-Mormon Mormony Authority, Religious Tolerance, and Sectarian Identification in Late Imperial Russia

    9 The Non-Mormon Mormony Authority, Religious Tolerance, and Sectarian Identification in Late Imperial Russia Andrew C. Reed In early 1913, a clipping of a previously published article in the Russian newspaper Kolokol (the Bell) was sent to government officials in Samara province (located in the southern part of Russia). The article was filled with rumors that originated in the village of Nikolaevskii, also in Samara province. It identified a religious sect that conducted a series of religious rites of passage that involved sexual acts with young girls. The article, titled “Po svobode sovesti” (On Freedom of Conscience), argued that a group of Mormony (Mormons), as they were locally known, carried out mysterious religious practices within their large homes in the village.1 The author suggested that the Mormony were a sect of reli- gious fanatics who lived communally in the village, and included in their number were wealthy farmers, elderly women, children, and some peasants. Further, this group of Mormony was subjected Andrew C. Reed is an assistant professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University. Andrew C. Reed A.

Locals saw this religious group as troublesome and enigmatic; therefore, they argued its members ought to be investi- gated by government officials to determine whether they were her- etics and criminals or merely a divergent branch of the Orthodox Church.

    EDUCATION in ZION We Move Forward Faithfully Into the Future Only by Understanding Our Past

    EDUCATION IN ZION We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past. Our founding stories reveal to us the higher purposes for which our forebears strove, and help us know the path that we should follow. Come unto me … and learn of me. —Matthew 11:28–29 I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. —Ether 4:12 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. —John 15:5 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. —John 10:11 Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep. —John 21:15–17 As Latter-day Saints, we believe Christ to be the Source of all light and truth, speaking through His prophets and enlightening and inspiring people everywhere. Therefore, we seek truth wherever it might be found and strive to shape our lives by it. In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others. From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows.

It focuses on scholarly books, articles, theses, and dissertations, and, out of necessity, is selective. Works of a more popular nature are included only when they contain information valuable to researchers not found in other publications. The studies listed herein are generally categorized by region and country and fall in a somewhat chronological order by topic within those geographic regions. EUROPE The worldwide growth of Mormonism has spurred several attempts at single-volume surveys of international Mormonism, including James R. Moss et al., The International Church (Provo, Utah: Brigham Young University Publications, 1982) and Donald Q. Cannon et al., Unto Every Nation: Gospel Light Reaches Every Land (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 2003). The broad scope of these publications results in sketchy treatments of Mormonism in Europe.

  • Mormon Missiology: an Introduction and Guide to the Sources

    Mormon Missiology: an Introduction and Guide to the Sources

    Mormon Missiology: An Introduction and Guide to the Sources David J. Whittaker Introduction Missionary work has been a central concern of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called Mormons) since their beginnings in 1830. The visions of Joseph Smith proclaimed the opening of a new dispensation in which the gospel of Jesus Christ would go forth to all nations. In their study of the Bible, particularly the New Testament, Latter-day Saint leaders identied with early Christian missionaries who were commissioned by the Master to “go ye therefore, and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Latter-day Saint scriptures emphasized and reinforced this missionary outlook. Many passages in the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants described the world as a “eld . white already to harvest” (D&C 4:4; 6:3; 11:3; 12:3; 31:4; etc.), and the faithful were assured that no joy would be greater than that which came as a result of successful missionary work. They understood that once they heard the “good news,” they had a desire and an obligation to inform their neighbors (see D&C 88:81). These same scriptures told the stories and described the qualities of good missionaries (see, for example, Alma 17–26, 29; D&C 4). Early in the history of the church, missionaries were commanded to assemble “the elect” from throughout the world (D&C 29:7–8; compare D&C 110:11). Their work centered on the concept of the “gathering,” a two-phase process. First, missionaries were to preach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to the honest in heart and then to administer the saving priesthood ordinances (beginning with baptism by immersion and the laying on of hands to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost) to those who accepted their message.
